Shadowlands

I was amazed by Anthony Hopkins. Best performance I have ever seen from him. Never seen him in any other movie with this much range. To me, he is always playing like Anthony Hopkins. Kind of like the same performance and range to me. In this movie he is so genuine and plays the full range, it's very hard to describe and it should be seen. How it looks not like acting. He should have won an Oscar for this.

Also I suppose Richard Attenborough liked the kid on Jurassic Park and cast him. He is good too.

The pain of now is part of the happiness of then.

At the core of the movie is a beautiful portrayal of a man that finds the courage to step out of his comfort zone. Of course, the movie is so much more than that. I don't know that it would have worked with actors that were not the caliber of Hopkins and Winger, but we need not worry about that. I wouldn't consider it a classic, but I don't think that it is too far off.

Wherein Debra Winger's performance has all the emotion and believability of a table reading. Just dreadful.
